I enjoyed that last release I tried a lot. Seems people are keen to hear about the new one, so I'll move it up the list.

I did review Wolvix not so long ago and I liked Pardus a lot when I reviewed that too. A list of past reviews is a great idea, people could easily see what I've done. It'll take a while to compile (there's a Gentoo joke here somewhere) but I'll try and get it done soon :) @Kounryusui – Thanks for reading.

Nice work, thanks a lot. And you got around to making this review at the perfect moment, too. Your ext4 problems with Grub made me realize that I've been consistently using a separate 200mb partition for /boot on my system for more than a year now. For some very good reason, that I absolutely cannot recall now, it is formated in ext2 :) [ I was going to ask here what the browser mode for Nautilus was but Uncle Google has explained it to me already. Nonetheless the thanks for educating my ignorant self goes to you. ] And as for future reviews - the afore-mentioned Gentoo is a nice suggestion. I mentioned Wolvix in a comment to the Mint 7 review, not that long ago. Then there is Pardus releasing in a week or so but you reviewed it in not that distant past (it would be a good idea to make a list of your distro reviews for an easy access, forgive me my boldness in suggesting this). But Gentoo seems promising if you feel up to it :) Pain, pain, pain... One more thing - the AWN link in the review points to a page that says: “AWN Wiki is moving!!” with a new link below. Cheers...

It takes a little setting up but it's not too difficult. A "recommended programs" article is a great idea, I'll keep it in mind. You can find more information on AWN here - <a href="http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=Main_Page" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=Main_Page</a> @Ryan – Thanks for reading :) The launcher is Avant Window Navigator, it can be installed easily from the package manager in most distributions.

I also reviewed Chakra Project recently, which is very interesting. I'm pleased too hear FreeBSD works well on your laptop, I'm going to try a BSD soon and hardware support has been a worry. @bsdhacker – I only used Arch for a few weeks because I always move to find new review candidates, but I didn’t have any stability problems.

I love your distro reviews. I'm downloading Fedora 11 right now and I can't wait to try it. I have one question though; what's the launch bar you are using? I like the way you set up your desktop. Can you do "recommended programs" or "top 20 programs" article? Thanks Hi Dan, I just found your site on google and I’m now one of your fans. I love your distro reviews.
